The IMTP specification defines a session-based IM transport
as well as the message format for it. However, it does not support  
message threads or discussion topics which are useful in 
applications such as multi-party chat. This document defines 
extensions to IMTP which allow applications to utilize threads 
and sub-threads within an IMTP message session. Also, the 
extensions enable message identification.
